Google Launches Cloud Operating System 'Chrome' And Calls It A "Browser"
Silicon Alley Insider —
... Because we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if we started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build. (Full "comic" tour here) ...

Who Cares About Google Chrome? A Quarter Of The Market Still Uses Internet Explorer 6
Silicon Alley Insider —
At my company, Kloudshare, a big part of what we are developing involves pushing boundaries of what browsers are expected to do. Generally speaking, this is the case industry wide, as the Web browser is becoming more and more a real application delivery system. Google (GOOG) understands this issue and has apparently been focused on some of the more glaring weaknesses of the current crop of browsers. As such, they have decided to launch a new browser called Chrome, to try to bring browsers into the 21st century. This has the blogosphere all ...

Analysis: Google seeks route around Microsoft with Chrome
Macworld —
Google’s surprise announcement of a new browser, Chrome, via a Web comic book could prove to be another game-changing development for the Internet in the coming years.

With Chrome, Google is promising people faster browsing, better security and compatibility across multiple operating systems. Google ultimately sees Chrome as the doorway for broader use of its Web-based applications, which threaten the desktop-based software that has ...
Straight out of Compton
Infinite Loop —
This afternoon I was all a-twitter about Chrome , Google's new web browser. Google's deft illustration of the technology and motivation behind Chrome left me primed for something interesting, and the actual product did not disappoint. My enthusiasm at this point is not so much about the product as it is about the methodology. Google didn't set out to merely improve upon existing web browsers. Instead, it attempted to rebuild the web browser from first principles. The last two successful web browsers have both taken minimalist approaches to their user interfaces, subtracting features from their popular predecessors ...
